Description
Here we present the results of a wide-field (˜36 sq. deg.)
near-infrared (ZYJHK) survey of the Praesepe cluster using the Data
Release 9 (DR9) of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic
Clusters Survey (GCS). We selected cluster candidates of Praesepe based
on astrometry and photometry. With our candidate list, we have obtained
the luminosity function of Praesepe in the Z and J bands, and we have
derived the mass function (MF) of Praesepe from 0.6 down to 0.072
M⊙. Moreover, we have estimated the binarity of the
Praesepe members in the 0.5-0.1 M⊙ mass range and as well
as their variability.
